The origin and evolution of the normal Type Ia SN 2018aoz with infant-phase reddening and excess emission

Yuan Qi Ni, Dae-Sik Moon, Maria R. Drout +40

SN~2018aoz is a Type Ia SN with a -band plateau and excess emission in the infant-phase light curves 1 day after first light, evidencing an over-density of surface ir…

Infant-phase reddening by surface Fe-peak elements in a normal Type Ia Supernova

Yuan Qi Ni, Dae-Sik Moon, Maria R. Drout +41

Type Ia Supernovae are thermonuclear explosions of white dwarf stars. They play a central role in the chemical evolution of the Universe and are an important measure of cosmologica…

Calibration of the Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB)

Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore, Taylor Hoyt +6

The Tip of the Red Giant (TRGB) method provides one of the most accurate and precise means of measuring the distances to nearby galaxies. Here we present a VIJHK absolute calibrati…

Standard Galactic Field RR Lyrae II: A Gaia DR2 calibration of the period-Wesenheit-metallicity relation

Jillian R. Neeley, Massimo Marengo, Wendy L. Freedman +9

RR Lyrae stars have long been popular standard candles, but significant advances in methodology and technology have been made in recent years to increase their precision as distanc…

The Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program. VII. The Distance to M101 via the Optical Tip of the Red Giant Branch Method

Rachael L. Beaton, Mark Seibert, Dylan Hatt +9

The Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program (CCHP) is building a direct path to the Hubble constant (H0) using Population II stars as the calibrator of the SN Ia-based distance scale. This…

The Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program. VIII. An Independent Determination of the Hubble Constant Based on the Tip of the Red Giant Branch

Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore, Dylan Hatt +10

We present a new and independent determination of the local value of the Hubble constant based on a calibration of the Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB) applied to Type Ia superno…
